Our firm has assisted hundreds of pastors and other key employees with Compensation Evaluation Studies.

We will also provide the following advice:

How to select a compensation committee comprised of unrelated and non-disqualified parties;
How to set competitive compensation ranges for pastors and other key employees based on our recommendation;

Compensation Evaluation Studies provided by Winters & King, Inc. have proven a valuable tool for clients undergoing IRS audits and inquiries by the Senate Finance Committee. Many organizations are unaware that failing to follow IRS guidelines can result in severe tax penalties against both the recipient of the compensation and the body that approved the compensation. Our firm’s compensation studies eliminate the possibility of the IRS assessing penalties against members of your board or compensation committee while also providing protection for the executive.

Defer Income Tax

In addition, Winters & King, Inc. can advise you regarding retirement planning through the use of 403(b) plans and setting up Rabbi Trusts. Many retirement plans Rabbi Trusts allow an executive to set aside large amounts of compensation without paying income taxes on that income at the time it is earned. This is a valuable tool to defer income tax on income above the annual limits placed on other retirement plans. Whether you are planning ahead or need to catch up in your later working years we can advise you on the options available to you.
